Ep. 20: Memorial Bridge Program: “Some place else to go visit”

Bucks County Government

Some 50 years after the Vietnam War, the Bucks County Vietnam Veterans Memorial Bridge Program is giving families a chance to honor their fallen heroes in a permanent and special way. Bucks County, in collaboration with the Pennsylvania Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund (PAVVMF), is working to dedicate county-owned bridges to the 136 county residents who died in the Vietnam War.     

In this episode, you’ll hear from Matt Allen, Director of Bucks County Veterans Affairs, Ed Preston, PAVVMF Chairman, and Jetta Erkes Lapore, the sister of a fallen Vietnam Veteran.
